In my opinion the cutoff of the led is better than the silverstars. Even using the stock housing. Having the led aligned and the housing aligned properly makes a world of difference.

With the H.I.Ds the only one that DOT approves is the stock bulbs also.Also the halogens are the only Department of Transportation approved headlights that are legal for road use in these models with reflectors, another reason I went halogen. LED’s are not approved by the DOT for the poor cutoff and light scatter, to really switch you will need new assemblies with projectors.
I’ll try and get one tonight when I’m out and about.Could you possibly post a small dash cam footage of you approaching and passing a street sign?
Auxbeam, Hikari, and Aukee have waaay too much bleed (yes, they were rotated correctly).
IMO, gen 1 GTR Lighting Ultra had the best cutoff among LED bulbs for our housing, but you can't get them anymore. Gen 2 has an insane bleed on an acquaintance's 4Runner with the H13 housing, so never bought them to test out on the Expy.
If the Morimoto LED passes the bleed test then that would a great development!
The Spyder ones (with the projector low beam, and reflector HB) have a very nasty hotspot in the shape of a triangle that robs light from the outboard sides of the beam. Also, the only way you'd find the high beam on those Spyder style housings useful is when you shove a ~ 20,000LM LED bulb in them.
Before I invest in these, would you say these would have the same issue? Is there no way to correct it?
